Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ Sky Blue Eyes ❯ You'll never know ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]
By: Darkened Fire - Tears of a Kitsune
I am a question to the world
Not an answer to be heard
Or a moment
That's held in your arms

And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway
You don't know me
And I'll never be what you want me to be

And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man
You can't take me
And throw me away

And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own
They don't know me
Cause I'm not here

Fox: I know! .
On with the fiction!
I've never had much of a childhood, not when I've had to look after two younger brothers since I was nine years old.
I remember growing up not knowing my youngest brother; he was always kept separate from Kankuro and I, for our `safety'. But I'm not quite sure I believe that. I knew there was something different about him, everyone did, Gaara of the sand, Demon of the Desert, they called him. But somehow, I never see him that way.
None of the other children ever wanted to go near him, they were afraid even to speak to him. He simply sat alone in the corner of the room, teddy bear held in his hands as if it were his lifeline. Perhaps though, perhaps in many ways it was.
I hated it how they ignored him, how they used him as if he was simply a machine for killing. It was painful to watch. But I didn't stop; I forever kept him within my sight, though he never knew.
I don't think he ever will.
I remember the day our uncle died, and the many years that followed that fateful day. Things would be different if Yashamaru had never attempted to assassinate Gaara. Maybe he would be able to feel love then.
I felt hate towards both my father and uncle, how could they do such things to my brother? He is related to them by blood too, would they do these things to me? To Kankuro? I don't know.
When he came to live with us, Kankuro did not fully accept him, but I knew with time things would be different, and they were. He cares now, not strongly perhaps, but love can only ever grow.
The second he first really saw me, first came to live with us, I wasn't sure what to do. This was my brother, but I'd never actually met him before that moment, what should I say? What should I do? His cold eyes were staring up at me and I felt sorrow set in my stomach. There were no emotions there anymore, nothing. But I knew, I would make him feel again.
I smiled and held out a hand for him, “Welcome to our home, Gaara. I'm glad you could make it.” And I was, truly. There were no lies there, and for once, Kankuro smiled with me. A small one, but it was there. My brother, my new charge, the person I would protect with my life though he was already much more advanced then me, simply gazed up at us, confused. My smile did not waver, and he took my hand hesitantly. I knew then, I knew I love my little brother.
And I know I always will.
You may never know
But I will
Just because I love you
And I don't care about anything else
Author's Notes: That was so weird. I'm not sure I liked it, but I wanted to take a look at the bond (however small it may be) between the sand siblings. I wanted to know about their family, their relationship with each other. To me it seems as if Temari truly cares for Gaara, as does Kankuro, though Gaara can't see it. Hopefully he will one day. Review now!
